The Nonesuch Records release of the soundtrack to Tim Burton's "Sweeney Todd" film climbed again this week on "The Billboard 200" chart.

Released on Dec. 18, the album debuted on the chart at No. 56 and jumped to No. 23, then No. 18 in succeeding weeks. For its fourth week, it has climbed to its highest spot thus far: No. 16.

"Sweeney Todd" also holds steady on the "Top Soundtracks" chart at No. 4. The recording, however, did slide on the "Top Digital Albums" chart (to No. 11) and on the "Top Internet Albums" chart (to No. 8).

Nonesuch also saw a steady flow in sales for the recent new Broadway cast recording of Sweeney Todd (the revival's album placed at No. 14 on "Top Cast Albums"). The new Tim Burton film adaptation of the Stephen Sondheim-Hugh Wheeler musical also spurred the original Sweeney Todd cast recording (on RCA Red Seal) to place onto that chart (at No. 8).
